    Unit 1 – Atomic Structure and Nuclear Chemistry Introduction to the atom Modern Atomic Theory All matter is composed of atoms Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions. However, these changes CAN occur in nuclear reactions! Every atom has different properties from other atoms Ex: grinding down a gold ring Modern Atomic Theory Wait, it’s “only” a theory? Why are we learning it then? •A theory is a powerful term in science Theory -A set of tested hypotheses that gives an overall explanation of some natural phenomenon. Ex: Cell theory & Evolutionary theory We can now see atoms …sort of In 1981 a STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) was created. - We can see them and manipulate them. The Kanji characters for "atom." This image was formed by using the tiny tip of an STM to pick up individual atoms of iron and place them on a copper (111) surface. Nanotechnology is coming Atoms can be moved and molded to make various devices such as molecular motors Structure of the Atom Accessing Prior Knowledge 1. Based on your previous science classes, draw a generic atom and label where you’d find the nucleus, protons, neutrons, & electrons. 2. For a common beryllium atom, what is the: a) # protons? b) # neutrons? c) # electrons?

  • Lunar Rock Chemistry Supports Big-Smash Theory Small Differences in Oxygen-Isotope Ratios Help Reveal How the Moon Was Formed
    NATURE | NEWS Lunar rock chemistry supports big-smash theory Small differences in oxygen-isotope ratios help reveal how the Moon was formed. Alexandra Witze 05 June 2014 NASA Most researchers believe the Moon formed after a protoplanet struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago. A minor chemical difference between Earth and Moon rocks could have big implications for theories about how the Moon was born. Moon rocks contain a tiny bit more of the rare isotope oxygen-17 than do the rocks on Earth, say geochemists who measured oxygen using very precise methods. “It changes the nature of the debate,” says Robin Canup, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, who was not involved in the study. “If the difference between Earth and the Moon is a small amount as opposed to zero, we need to know that.” Most researchers think that the Moon formed in the very early days of the Solar System, 4.5 billion years ago, when a large protoplanet smashed into the embryonic Earth. Debris from the collision mingled together and then settled into orbit around Earth, where it coalesced into the Moon. If that were the case, however, scientists would expect to see more of the remains of the original impactor in the Moon. The chemistry of Moon rocks would be different from that of Earth rocks. “The big question was always, why do we not see this difference, why are Earth and the Moon so similar?” says Daniel Herwartz, an isotope geochemist at the University of Cologne in Germany and a member of the study team.

  • CREEK VOICE: BEYOND VALENCY Jack B. Martin Within Chemistry
    CREEK VOICE: BEYOND VALENCY Jack B. Martin Within chemistry, VALENCY refers to the capacity of an atom or group of atoms to combine in specific proportions with other atoms or groups of atoms.1 The French linguist Lucien Tesnière is generally credited with introducing this term to linguistics, where it is used metaphorically for the capacity of a verb to combine with distinct arguments or valents (Crystal 1985). A verb like rain, which has no referential noun phrases associated with it, is said to be ZERO-PLACE or AVALENT; a verb like disappear, which takes only a subject argument, is said to be ONE-PLACE or MONOVALENT; verbs like devour and give are said to be TWO-PLACE (BIVALENT) and THREE-PLACE (TRIVALENT), respectively. This chemical metaphor has had a pervasive influence in linguistics: causative and applicative morphemes are now described as ‘adding arguments,’ while passives and middles are described as ‘suppressing’ or ‘deleting’ arguments, respectively. Entire sections of grammars are devoted to ‘valency-changing,’ ‘valency-increasing,’ or ‘valency-reducing’ processes, suggesting that the primary function of these grammatical processes is to regulate the number of arguments in clauses. The chemical metaphor contrasts with an older tradition that distinguishes just two classes of predicates—TRANSITIVE and INTRANSITIVE—and a category of VOICE. Passive voice and middle voice are seen within this tradition as altering the ‘point of view’ or ‘centre of interest’ (Jesperson 1924:167) within a clause rather than applying mathematical operations to it, and causatives and applicatives are sometimes included and sometimes excluded from the traditional range of voice-related phenomena.

  • Exploring the Chemistry of Methoxide with Oxygen Through Photoelectron Imaging Spectroscopy
    EXPLORING THE CHEMISTRY OF METHOXIDE WITH OXYGEN THROUGH PHOTOELECTRON IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY by Christopher Charles Blackstone Copyright © Christopher Charles Blackstone 2020 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY WITH A MAJOR IN CHEMISTRY In the Graduate College of THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA 2020 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA GRADUATE COLLEGE 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The pursuit of my PhD and the completion of the work in this dissertation was a long, often frustrating and arduous path. The support I had in completing it was invaluable, and I can say with certainty, that without the guidance, encouragement, and love of the people around me, the goal may have eluded me altogether. First, I must acknowledge the National Science Foundation, who funded this work. I would like to thank Professor Andrei Sanov, my research adviser. The open and welcoming discussions of group meetings—which were conducted without judgment so I could ask any question or make any proposal which occurred to me without embarrassment or regret—were invaluable in my learning about the methods we use, about chemistry and physics, and about the process of research in general. He gave me freedom to chase the projects which interested me, and to take them in the directions which most appealed to me, and joined me on even the most ambitious paths. But most importantly, he was present. He was always ready and willing to talk about anything which was bugging me; be it troubleshooting the instrument when it was down, making sense of data when their meaning was opaque, or encouraging and uplifting me during the many dark wells of plummeting confidence I fell into over the years.
